@Neville ******

I submitted my application late Monday evening, they've emailed me today requesting additional documentation

@Brett *********

Did you apply recently? Lots of people seem very negative about the STV, how did the application process go for you?

@Brett *********

I've been looking at the STV and not seen any requirement for proof of funds? What was required?

@Paulus ********

Most of those listed on agoda / booking don't include PCR test or transport to the hotel for "test and go", can these be paid for at the airport?

@James **********

What was the reason for refusal / additional documents requested?

@Stuart ********

Options are limited, I'm under 50 so no retirement visa. I'd like the option of staying 6+ months so 30d visa exemption and extension is no good. Its £600 for flight, £600 insurance, then 3months accommodation paid for all before applying for the ST visa which could be refused or delayed. Not easy at all.

I've been putting off booking / applying in the hope more STV info may become available, it hasn't.

So, the procedure; book flights/accommodation/insurance then apply for STV. After receiving approval of STV then apply for thailandpass? Is this correct? Or can they both be applied for at same time, initial flight / accommodation booking would be for the 3months, obviously greater than the 30day on arrival.

Has anyone here applied for the STV recently?

Thanks. J

Special tourist visa? 90day visa and renewable twice, up to 270days

@Stuart ********

I'd like to stay for maybe 6 months, alternatives are easier but shorter stay. Thailand doesn't make it easy.

@Stuart ********

Have you used the STV? Online info still refers to ASQ, not updated with recent immigration changes
